   No, select the article and hit 'C'. Or maybe any number of other
techniques, it's very dependent on the software you're using. Certainly
your technique (I assume it's for Delphi newsreaders) doesn't work on my
'trn'. Further, my technique won't work if I send to the penet anonymous
posting site. I don't know how to cancel anonymous postings, but then I
don't have experience with the anonymous posting facility.

   Now, then, does anybody else have a problem with the claim that the
original poster didn't know there was anything wrong with doing this,
claiming to be a net.newbie, yet knew how to use the penet site (not a
trivial operation) and felt that he should post it anonymously rather
than from his own account or through a mail-to-news gateway (if he has no
newsposting access)?
